The Independent Nation-State of Pacific Commonwealth is a colossal, safe nation, ruled by Maze with a fair hand, and renowned for its unlimited-speed roads, keen interest in outer space, and ubiquitous missile silos. The hard-nosed, democratic, cheerful population of 8.292 billion Pacific Commonwealthians love a good election, and the government gives them plenty of them. Universities tend to be full of students debating the merits of various civil and political rights, while businesses are tightly regulated and the wealthy viewed with suspicion.

The enormous, socially-minded government prioritizes Education, with Environment, Healthcare, and Social Policy also on the agenda, while Spirituality is ignored. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Dub Jay. The average income tax rate is 98.8%.

The frighteningly efficient Pacific Commonwealthian economy, worth a remarkable 1,367 trillion pesoes a year, is highly specialized and mostly made up of the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Book Publishing and Information Technology. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 164,915 pesoes, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The alarmingly racist TV show 'Bigtopians Say the Darndest Things' is a hit, tourists outnumber citizens two to one, it is a crime to offend someone's religious beliefs, and record sales of 'child-whacking sticks' have been reported. Crime is totally unknown. Pacific Commonwealth's national animal is the ratel, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Batmanism.
